Those who control a technology may easily come to control those who rely upon it. Many people in a society may benefit from the use of electricity, but if only a few of them know how to generate it... that knowledge could swiftly be leveraged into power. Especially if it is hoarded instead of shared.
Consider this: how many other people in your world could possibly replicate your research? It takes an uncommon mind to create such advances, after all.
